awk find and replace in multiple files
Hi
I use the following code to replace ‘.' with ‘N' in my files and keep both versions.
awk '{ gsub(/\./,"N"); print }' file_0001.txt > path/to/new/dir/file_0001.txt
I need help on how to apply the code to 100 files instead of doing them one file at a time. The files are labeled file_0001.txt to file_0100.txt.
Thanks
joseph

Management" section of the "ecaccess" guide for more information on the ECaccess File System.

ecaccess-file-move ec:test1.txt home:test2.txt
Copy the test1.txt file from the ECFS directory of the authenticated user to the test2.txt file in the $HOME directory of the authenticated
